A new UK film uncovers the shocking truth behind one of the craziest internet hoaxes of all time.

Lion vs The Little People uncovers the shocking truth behind one of the greatest internet hoaxes of all time.

In 2005, a hoax news post masquerading as a bonafide BBC news website article,

announced a fight had taken place between a lion and an army of forty-two fighting dwarfs.

The hoax spread like wildfire across the internet before being, eventually accepted to be fake. While the article’s veracity in the public eye was diminished, however, the myth very much lives on hidden in the deep web.

Lion vs The Little People is a film about truth, survival, and tiny wrestlers.
